Dyche: 'Refs are making Burnley do twice as much to win'
10:03am Thursday 7th March 2013 in Football
By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
Burnley manager Sean Dyche
SEAN Dyche has warned his players they will have to keep going the extra mile to win games, after being staggered by decisions that went against the Clarets in their midweek draw with Barnsley.
Charlie Austin edged nearer to the magical 30-goal milestone by putting Burnley on the front foot with an early opener, converting Danny Lafferty’s cross for his 26th of the season.
But he was denied a clear penalty in the second half when he was brought down in the box, with the score at 1-0, and Barnsley went on to rescue a point through substitute Tomasz Cywka.
It was not the first time this season that Burnley have been on the wrong end of a refereeing call against Barnsley. In their FA Cup defeat to the Tykes, who have since gone on to reach the quarter finals, the Clarets were wrongly reduced to 10 men when Brian Stock was the victim of mistaken identity over a second yellow card.
Dyche said: “We have to over-earn wins at the minute.
“We had that when I first got here and we’ve having to do that again.
“No-one gives you anything anyway – no team – but at the minute we’re struggling to get a decision that goes our way so we’re going to have to over-earn it and not just beat the 11 in front of us.”
The penalty appeal on Tuesday was not the only big moment that did not go the Clarets’ way.
Stephen Foster was already on a booking, for a first-half lunge at Austin, when he pulled back Martin Paterson as he burst through on goal, yet the former Burnley defender escaped without punishment.
Dyche was left infuriated.
“Decisions have radically changed the outlook of the game,” he fumed.
“It was pretty obvious – quite an incredible one – Charlie Austin gets cut in half through his shins with a two-footer and I'm amazed at the yellow card.
“Pato (Paterson) goes through on goal with a shirt pull from a player who's already been yellow carded, no action.
“The obvious one was the penalty with Charlie.
“It's a penalty, simple as that.”
However, the Burnley boss accepted his side had again failed to perform to their best at home and was frustrated not to build on Saturday's welcome win at Charlton.
It was their third win and clean sheet from six games on their travels in the Championship in 2013.
Conversely they have won only once in five attempts this calendar year.
And he fears bad vibes are escalating at Turf Moor.
“It was patchy,” said Dyche. I'd never cover it over with referees. There were moments I was pleased with, we started very brightly, we scored a very good goal.
“The interesting thing is we've gone 1-0 up and there's an edge to it around here at the minute and that sometimes affects them (the players).
“But we've had a few game changers go against us.
“You can only hope over time that it evens itself out, but it would be nice if that time came pretty quickly.
“Decisions have radically changed the outlook of the game.
“It's not about holding on, the game should have been done.
“In tight games when we're not as free flowing as we want to be we're having to change the team around for many different reasons – once them things go for you it settles everything down, you're 2-0 up and confidence builds and it changes the whole feel.”
Dyche added: “We have to over-earn wins at the minute. We had that when I first got here and we've having to do that again.
“No-one gives you anything anyway – no team – but at the minute we're struggling to get a decision that goes our way so we're going to have to over-earn it and not just beat the 11 in front of us.”

Yes I know we have injuries to key players such as Wallace, Marney and Mcann but you already know this when you select the team.
Charlie Austin's body language is beginning to say it all that he's fed up of the role he is continually having to play without adequate support. Your continued way you use Vokes baffles me and from comments of other fans sat around me it seems they are too.
Never thought I would make a comment like this but it is really frustrating at the moment seeing how we continually allow teams to push up and control the mid-field as well as the way we go about challenging an opponent who has the ball.

Our center midfield and wingers are just not good enough for a side that has aspirations for a top 6 finish. We respect that.
What we can't and won't accept are poor tactics, poor decision making and then blaming others for those failings.The football i have witnessed over the past 6 matches is as bad as anything i've witnessed in 20 years of watching Burnley.
I notice that the deadline for the early bird ST's has just been extended - It will be needed to be extended to august if we carry on as we are.
If you are going to take the micky with how over inflated your charges are for your product, at least have the good grace to make it worth watching please.
I won't be renewing.

You still on about sacking your third manager of the season?
You still below us?
You still got Venkys in charge?
Still got clueless ageing players on fat contracts?
Still got the ugliest fans in world football?
